There's got to be an official way to get this font from GNOME itself?

gnome already provides adwaita fonts by default. the mono font even comes with nerd font icons built-in. except, the git branch icon doesn't render correctly.

we could just remove adwaita and jetbrains fonts from packages.sh to align with upstream. plus, maybe the git branch icon getting chopped should be a bug report to gnome?

see the stock silverblue 43 image below for reference:
